We traveled to Winter Park, Colorado to snow ski and see the country side. Snow skiing was stressful for me, to say the least. Michael loved it! He has snow skied about 11 or 12 years ago. Even though it was several years since he had skied, he picked it back up like a pro. SEE...
This vacation was a surprise Christmas present for Michael. I have been planning this trip for almost a year in advance. It was horrible trying to keep it a secret, but well worth it in the end! It was so much fun seeing his face light up.
Even though this trip was ultimately for Michael it was for me too. We love to travel and see the country side, but have never been able to because of school and lack of time. I was very excited to see the Rocky Mountains. Almost my whole family has seen Colorado, but ME! So I was excited to see what all the fuss was about. Crazy, I know! But Colorado really is something to see. Just look at those mountains!!
Michael and I spent the night in Nashville, TN Tuesday night because our flight left around 8:30 AM. We had to be at the airport early for check in and security checks. The flight was about 2 hours and 30 minutes. Then we had the honor of riding a bus through Denver and up the mountain to Winter Park. The bus ride wasn't that bad, just long. It took us 2 hours to get to our destination.
Finally after we arrived we couldn't check in until 4 PM. Ugh!!! Well that didn't stop us. We went straight to the hotel to drop off our bags and then to get our reserved ski lift tickets. Our next stop was to rent our skis. I was getting excited! Oh, and did I mention that it was snowing!! (insert scream) It was SO pretty! There was snow everywhere!
After we were completely ready for the next 3 days of skiing, we decided to take it easy in our room until day 2! That is when the FUN begins!
